Well, I know you got your troubles
C C/D G C/G G
But I've got problems of my own

I know about your situation
C C/D G C/G G
And I know all about your pain

But you know it's true, though it's no comfort to you
A7sus A7 D7sus D7
Into each life must fall some rain

We all have our cross to bear

Verse 3
G B7 Em Dm7 F/G
You know I hate to see you cry
G B7 G C/G G
Because I've had my share of tears

Though it may sound cruel, you know I'd be a fool
A7sus A7 D7sus D7
To let it slide a few more years, listen
G B7 Em Dm7 F/G
I just got to have my freedom
C C/D G C/G G
And if that's giving you the blues
